Ok, I wish former GW center Jaaron Greene all the luck in the world, but since when was he an NBA prospect? I quote from a news article about him joining the ABA's Corning (NY) Bulldogs: During his senior [high school] season, Jaaron was left to make the hard decision that many players just wish they could even have the change to be in a position to make. Jaaron had to choose from jumping straight to the NBA or going to play NCAA D-1 basketball. The Mt. Zion sensation eventually decided not to jump to the NBA and to play at George Washington University where he had family living close to the campus.The press release says he's the "blockbuster of all blockbuster signings" and the coach says that because of Jaaron, "[t]he 2007-08 ABA championship belongs to the Corning Bulldogs; anything less than a league championship is no longer acceptable." Well, good luck with that.
Due to injury, Greene played a total of 8 minutes in his freshman and sophomore seasons (2003-2005). After that, he was ruled academically ineligible and didn't come back to basketball.
Who knows, maybe he really is the second coming of Kevin Garnett, but to say he's the blockbuster of all blockbusters seems like a slight exaggeration. As some GWhoopsters suggest, maybe GW should hire whoever wrote that press release.
